popsjumper 2 #4 May 17, 2006 I'm surprised that you found a chump to go all-in on a pair of deuces...good stuff!My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #5 May 17, 2006 Actually, the "chump" had no choice. He was forced into being all in by the high blinds. But think of how I was sitting here saying "Oh Shit" (actually used a MUCH worse word), when I saw that I had a 2, 3. Imagine my surprise when I saw he had a 2 also......and then I managed to pair up the 3's on the river! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

StreetScooby 5 #8 May 17, 2006 Very nice! I've been trying to teach myself statistics, and it's not an easy thing.We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #9 May 17, 2006 For some folks, statistic playing is a great tool. I frustrate the hell out of my fellow players. I don't use statistics and shut people up when they start quoting them to me. I don't care. I just play to have fun. If I have to study to play, it takes all the fun out of it. What I keep/play on one hand, might not be what I'll play on a future hand. I play the cards if I "feel" like it. I've kept cards most folks would (quote) never (/quote) keep and play. And I often throw away hands most folks think I'm crazy for throwing away. I've rarely regretted throwing away a hand. I'm patient, non-emotional (their shit talk doesn't bother me at all) and I don't make enemies at the table. Therefore, I don't have people trying to "force" me out by raising or going all in all of the time. I play a 45 person NL hold 'em game and it costs $1 + 20¢ fee. The top 7 folks are in the money, with the 7'th person winning $2 and the monies go up as you place higher. I'm almost always in the top 7.Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?
